- Suggestion - to make our forum more exciting -

its only a SUGGESTION...

can we have here like a "diecast of the month" / "modifier of the month"?

its not a contest thou... but surely it will make this forum more exiting?

what do you think guys?

- i hope @gtmike , can reply this thread.. or any moderator's here

-thanks

You kno i been thinking of that for a while but i never thought it would work. Ihope this works out, it will be preety exciting. Also dident their use to be a contest on here>?<

I vote Quick Nick lol

i been on a posting spree tonight lol, my post count has rosen practially double over this week lol!

@quick... yep ive read that there was a contest.. i think it didnt push through..

so im suggesting... that to make our forum more exciting... that we will have a "diecast of the month" or "modifier of the month".. so it wont be complicated...

:)

you know if have this type of contests may be it will make me work on my cars faster lol :smokin:

@DUBS

yeah...and i think it will help the forum more exiting...

what can u say guys?

wait so diecast of the month would be any diecast that someone went out to buy? like no mods. and modifier of the month would be a car taht someone modded for the month? if so sounds all good. and yes dubsrus would finally be finishing cars! lol.

@nosliw : yeah... thats it... its so simple...

so everybody can really show the best ot their collection.. stock or modded...

-well just wait.. for @gtmike or the other moderators.. what they think about this idea...

Seriously, on situations like this, I'd go for it now. Something like this doesn't really need a mod's approval. With the people here already, we would probably have enough to last for quite a while. (both regular and modded)

Hey so we could do it like this. 1 of us would be getting mails with links of hosted photos and a description from the others. You would send the organiser something like this:

Acura integra type R 2001 1:18

-CF hood
-nos tanks
-bodykit
-'n' shit

fdgdthnsyjtyj
fgbthxhdzbdzrh

Then the guy that got emails from you guys hits a new thread like on the 2 day of the month with a contest. In it will be descriptions of our cars. There you write the nick of the one you vote on. Counting posts on the 8 day of the month, Winner done. And no tuner contest.

i think to make it easy... just make a thread w/ a poll on it... so we can vote.

example: (title thread) "JANUARY diecast of the month entry"/ or "JANUARY modified diecast of the month entry..

then in your thread.. make a poll.. so the people who like's your diecast can vote...

what do you think?

so when do we start? FEBRUARY?

so we have2 categories:

01 : "diecast of the month" - unmodded - W/COMPLETE PICTURE OF ALL SIDE plus INTERIOR'S - ENGINE... ETC...

02 : "modifier of the month" - modded - W/COMPLETE PICTURE OF ALL SIDE , INTERIOR - ENGINE plus DESCRIPTION of what you modded....

We have something like that on our polish forum. Every month we had contest for car of the month, then wnet we had 12 models we made Best Model of 2005 year. It's very "exciting" and keeps forum alive.

February sounds good. Gives me enough time to take my models out of the boxes (since I've moved and haven't found a place to put them yet)

As for the polling, what would be the mx number of cars to vote on? I'd say five or six on both categories. That way it won't be too cluttered.

@hobbes : i think... to give chance to all... i think 1 entry per member in each category..

so,we the forumers can really SHOW their BEST car...

:)

and for @TUNEREK : thats a good idea... so in december , we can vote for "CAR OF THE YEAR - modded/un modded

ITS PAGE 2 ALREADY : (for those who didnt read the first page..)

PLS READ PAGE STARTER... so we can do this smoothly..

:)

So let's see if I get this right:

Diecast of the Month

One for unmodded models
One for modded models
Models must be sent in by the last week of the current month (or to the last day of the month) to be eligible for the next month.
The polls will be posted at the beginning of the month and will last up to a week.
The pictures must be clearly visible on all angles (interior and exterior)
One person can send only one per category (to keep it fair)
If the car does not become the diecast of the month, then that person can send the same model for the next month. After that, there would be a two (2) month wait until he can post it again.
Any modded cars will have a complete list of things done to the car.

To keep it simple, all entries can be PM'd or emailed to prevent multiple posts and/or posts being lost during the month. (Who to send to will be determined)

Remember, you can send models that you have had for any amount of time, wether it be for a month or for three (3) years. You can do a mod for that month, but if it's not ready by deadline then you can send one that you have already done.

The Jada, Maisto Playerz, etc. will be withheld for the first month. Otherwise, unless the person has done any mods, it will be known as a regular mod.

Anything else to add?

@hobbes.. perfect!

i just quoted... the jada & maisto playerz... its a regular entry(unmodded) unless u made some modification...

i think.. we can make it as "GUIDELINE'S" above you've written.. unless somebody has anything to add..
...

That's what I'm trying to do now. Let everyone have their say, then make a brand new thread with the guidelines.

ok... will wait for the others...

then we will make a new thread.. for guidelines entry.. posible this friday.. so we can start it.. on february..

:)

:grinyes: yeaaaaaaaaahhh !! this would be fookin ace !! lets get it done ! :p :p :naughty:

. Yea, and then the polls will be open for X number of days. So like a week, So you have a week to vote on a car.

I have to get home and take pictures of my car. Im gonna enter my AA Lexus GS430 ;)

so i hope everybody can read this... so we can make another thread for the "guidelines" on friday..
:)

i agree with this idea...

doubts:

- to who do i send the mail?
- how much pics do we send?
- size of the pics?

thnks and...go for it!!!

a few coments. i think that we should have four photots maximum. expecailly for people who have slow internet connections if we end up having like 100 photos on one page it would take hours to load. like someone recently had a thread labeles my collectiont hey had like 106 photos. even i have a high speed internet connection it took way too long to download. and on the poll i though that poll thing on the top of the thread is only limited to four choices. and we should have the guidlines listed under one of those "important" threads. don't you guys think so?

and another thing. you know how when we post it shows how many stars we have an stuff liek that. maybe we could get someone to include how many times that specific person has "won" under unmodded and modded.

Yea, then you can a little tag "Modded Diecast Winner of the Month!" that is made in like photoshop using one pic of your winning car and it saying it over the pic =) then it goes in your siggy

well for the prize maybe someone can make in photoshop a little trophey, sizezd about the size of a siz, on the bottem of the trophey say your username, than under that the month and the year. and you put it in your sig!


btw this is an awesome idea i cant wait, i hope it works out.
Just one thing, it can be a model from whenever right?

i agree with this idea...

doubts:

- to who do i send the mail?
- how much pics do we send?
- size of the pics?

thnks and...go for it!!!

where to send?... will aswer that later

how much pics do we send?

for "DIECAST OF THE MONTH" a maximun of 4 photos ONLY.

for "MODIFIER OF THE MONTH" 3 before & 5 after MODDED photos.. so 8 in all

size of the photos? - just keep it regular size... so that everybody can appreciate it...

(dont send HUGE photos)

:)

What iof they dont know how to resize?

they should resize it... we need cooperation.. so we can do this..

:)

ITS PAGE 3 ALREADY.. pls read page 1(for those who just read this thread now)

If they use photobucket, then they can edit it to shrink to 50%. That should work just fine.

So let's see if I get this right:

Diecast of the Month

One for unmodded models
One for modded models

Anything else to add?

we will add this:

where to send?... will aswer that later

how much pics do we send?

for "DIECAST OF THE MONTH" a maximun of 4 photos ONLY.

for "MODIFIER OF THE MONTH" 3 before & 5 after MODDED photos.. so 8 in all

size of the photos? - just keep it regular size... so that everybody can appreciate it...

(dont send HUGE photos)

:)

Who to send to was already mentioned. More than likely they can be sent to either me or rasta_dubbed.

If you are unable to resize the pics then send them to me. I'll open a new account on Photobucket just for this.

If there's nothing else to add with all of this, then I'll make a new thread on Friday evening with these guidelines and then another on Monday to officially send pictures.

Who will set up the topics each month? We need a mod to sticky it =O

Not to worry. That will be done when the time comes. :)

=O ok, anything i can do to help? And where are you posting from? lol

Need nothing from you young grasshopper. Just wait 'til then. :)

ok master fujima lol

ok...i love the idea...

i will take 640x reso photos ok??

That should work just fine. :)

this is going to add excitement to the bored. i cant wait, i cant decide which car to use for these, guess i have time. Rasta you are the man, your ideas have made ths forum way more active, this and the "lets get to kno you" thread are awesome.

@quick: thanks....

so its a go!

we will just wait till friday... @hobbes will make the thread...

so goodluck to all of us!

@hobbes:

submission of entries will start after you post the guidelines....

deadline of submission for both categories will end on FEBRUARY 15, 2006.

so we can ANNOUNCE the winner/s for the month of FEBRUARY...

and we can start immediately for the next month(march)

Sounds good to us =)

AHH! I HAVE NO PICS YET! =O

but we can send already the fotos??

to whom?

Legolas, they arent ready yet. I dont think

@legolas :

hobbes : will post the guidelines on friday... then after that you can send the photo's and description of your car.. to @hobbes or ME...

will just wait for the guidelines... then its a go...

:)

Go for it. I like how you took it into your own hands.

yay this is deff going to work! yesss~!

*Notice*


The guidelines will be posted at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. That will be locked and stickied. Then there will be another post following this for the deadline and start for the February DOTM/MOTM. Good Luck! :)

*Notice*

So everybody have their pictures ready!

thanks @gtmike... & @hobbes... and everybody that supported this IDEA...

so its go.......

:)

Acutally, it should be thank you rasta. :sunglasse

Just one minor question:

@hobbes:

submission of entries will start after you post the guidelines....

deadline of submission for both categories will end on FEBRUARY 15, 2006.

so we can ANNOUNCE the winners for the month of FEBRUARY...

and we can start immediately for the next month(march)
Doesn't that seem a bit longish to you? Couldn't we make the deadline a week earlier so the winner can be announced by the 15th? I'm planning to start this by the next day...

its ok... so deadline will be a week only... then we will announce it on the 15th of february...

:)

Ok. So for this pilot episode we will start sending in pics on Jan. 20 and just extend it to Feb. 8. It will close that morning and then we will start the polls that evening in which that will close on Feb. 15 to determine the DOTM/MOTM.

ok.

so guys... just wait for the final "guidelines"

:)

thanks again @hobbes
